| Abstract | ||
| The Mediteranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lep.: Pyralidae) is a polyphagous pest in Iran. Effect of six wheat cultivars (Parsi, Pishtaz, Sardari, Bahar, Pishgam, Zarin) on demographic parameters of the E. kuehniella was determined at 26 ± 1 °C, 60 ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L: D). The highest and lowest values of net fecundity and fertility rate were obtained on Bahar and Zarin wheat flour varieties, respectively. Also the highest and lowest values of intrinsic rate of increase obtained on Bahar (0.1076 ± 0.0018 female/female/day) and Pishtaz (0.0908 ± 0.0015 female/female/day) wheat flour varieties, respectively. The longest and shortest doubling time were observed on Pishtaz (7.58 ± 0.12) and Bahar (6.39 ± 0.10 days) cultivar, respectively. Because of the importance of population growth parameters, including intrinsic rate of increase (rm), Bahar was the most suitable host plants among the other wheat flour varieties. Determining of the suitable variety among different wheat flour would be helping us to improve natural enemy production using this pest as food on susceptible host plants. | ||
